If you followed my social media snaps a few weeks back, you’ll remember Malick and I spent an amazing four nights at the fairly new Radisson RED Hotel in the Silo District in Cape Town. I was booked on quite a few shoots in the city that week, and since I live in the southern suburbs, I really didn’t want to drive into town every single day, sit in the traffic etc. Other than that, do I really need a good excuse to stay in an amazing hotel with the most incredible view in the beautiful city I get to call home?!

Bringing together elements of fashion, music and art together, Radisson RED is not at all your typical hotel; they really did think of absolutely every guest need when putting this hotel together a couple of months ago! Designed with the millenial in mind, check out my ten reasons to stay at this amazing hotel below! (more…)

On our recent trip to Lisbon, we were there for two nights/three days, and we stayed at Flores Guest House. This accommodation is set-up in a pretty cool and unique way; instead of being an actual single guest house, or in a hotel style, they book out various flatlets in different buildings all situated in and around Praça das Flores (the Flower Square). The very first impression you get when looking at its surrounding area and your room is that it is charming, cute and overall has a fresh and happy energy. Malick’s first words when he entered the room were, “Now this really feels like a Euro summer holiday.” That being said, here are ten reasons to stay at Flores Guest House. (more…)

When planning our trip to Paris, I was significantly torn between whether I wanted the comforts of a hotel, or the Parisian apartment experience. In the end, we opted for both. We booked La Charme Du Marais via cobblestoneparis.com, who specialize in renting out beautiful apartments all over central Paris. We spent three nights there and truly could not have asked for a better apartment to have stayed in. (more…)

Last month Malick and I stayed in two different places in Paris, but we kickstarted our trip by staying at Hotel R de Paris in Place de Clichy. When it comes to booking hotels I often prefer to go the boutique route for many reasons. So, with that being said, below are my reasons to stay at Hotel R de Paris. (more…)

If you read my blog posts from earlier this week, you’ll know it’s my second time visiting Oubaai in the last month, which I guess tells you the direction this review is going. Before I share my experience, it’s best to know we aren’t golf-people, and I’m an accommodation snob. I blame it on my days when I was cabin crew; I stayed in a lot of amazing hotels in that year, and it nurtured my eye and taste for comfort. All opinions in this review are my own, and no part of our stay was sponsored (except for the drive, thanks Dad!)
